I have a humidity sensor and the humidity level is less than 50% for most of the year.
Acoustically, i think carpet will work better than dricore as it will minimize reflections.

are you down in arizona? im up in ontario canada we have massive swings in
humidity here.. super dry to super wet.. my basement dose no leak to say
but in could in a huricane type rain.. but the main thing is the moisture comes right though the concrete more spring summer fall.. you cant use the ac at 40 f it will shut off.. carpet on concrete will go to mold mildew.. dont want that.. but the carpet on top of dricore lots like a good solution..

thanks
